I actually wanted to do something productive, I swear...
...but it's a conspiration. I didn't bring my computer with me because I expected to be away for a fucking weekend (and it's going to be a month soon) (I'm in Spain at the moment, by the way), the final version (betaed by the magnificent
avierra ) of the hooker-celeb fic, that I was intending on posting today is not on my old external hard drive and the new external hard drive where it is cannot get recognized by the ancient laptop that I am using. Also, yesterday I managed to submit some shit (a photographic project) and I don't feel like working today (I get some kind of hangover after turning in a submission. It's a stressful process for me, you see), soooooo... I've done what all the cool kids are doing, the tropes meme!
I'm sure you are dying to know my results, so here they are:

I might consider writing to the developers so that I can use a similar program to make decisions in a fairly quick manner, because God knows that I need something of the like.
Also, my maternal instinct is dead. The only reason kidfics are not lower on the list is that my experience with Coffee House AUs has been truly awful and that, for some reason, selfcest squicks me pretty hard. Even my narcissism has a limit.
At some point I'll post drawings of wolves I've been doing... stay tuned!
